BETTIS TO HALL OF FAME Former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jerome Bettis was honored for his illustrious career as one of the NFL’s most prolific running backs as he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015, and was en-shrined on Saturday, August 8, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. He was honored during the team’s Thursday Night Football game in Week 4 against Baltimore during a special ring ceremony. Bettis played in 192 regular-season games in his 13-year career, spending his fi rst three years with the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams and the fi nal 10 with the Steelers. The Detroit native registered the sixth-most rushing yards (13,662) in NFL history. Bettis eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark in 61 games during the regular season and three times in the postseason, compiling a 47-17 record in those contests. He recorded 78 rushing touchdowns as a member of the Steel-ers during the regular season, the second-most in franchise history behind Hall of Famer Franco Harris (91). In all, Bettis led his team in rushing 11 seasons, three with the Rams and eight with the Steel-ers. His eight 1,000-plus yard seasons tied for third-best in the NFL when he retired. Bettis was named to six Pro Bowls, voted fi rst team All-Pro twice, second team All-Pro once and was the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 1996. In 10 years in Pittsburgh, Bettis helped the Steel-ers reach four AFC Championship games and win Super Bowl XL in 2005, fi nishing his career with a victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Before he came to Pittsburgh in 1996 and recorded 1,431 rushing yards in his fi rst season, the Steelers had only one 1,000+ yard rusher in the previous 12 seasons.

2015 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS

TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF SUPER BOWL XL The Pittsburgh Steelers will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its Super Bowl XL victory during Week 10 of the 2015 season. On Saturday, Nov. 14, the Alum-ni Weekend Dinner at Heinz Field will highlight the Super Bowl XL team. The annual event benefi ts the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program and Cancer Caring Center. At halftime of the Steelers’ game the following day against the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field, members of the Super Bowl XL championship team will be introduced on the stadium fi eld and rec-nognized for their achievement in capturing the team’s fi fth of six Lombardi trophies.

SUPER BOWL 50 CELEBRATION The 2015 season marks a year-long celebration of the Super Bowl to commemorate Super Bowl 50, which will be played on Sunday, February 7, 2016 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. The “On the Fifty” platform is designed to link the past 49 Super Bowls with this year’s game and honor the teams, players, coaches, fans and communities that have been a part of those games. The 2015 NFL regular-season schedule features 19 Super Bowl rematches - three of which features the Steelers.

The Steelers’ fi rst Super Bowl rematch of the 2015 season came in Week 3, when the team faced the Rams in St. Louis - a rematch of Super Bowl XIV in which Pitts-burgh defeated the then Los Angeles Rams, 31-19, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.

In Week 6, Pittsburgh hosted the Arizona Cardinals at Heinz Field, pitting the two Super Bowl XLIII partici-pants against one another. At Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., the Steelers were victorious over the Car-dinals, 27-23.

The team’s third Super Bowl rematch of 2015 will take place in Week 12 when the Steelers face the Seattle Seahawks in a road game. The two teams faced off in Super Bowl XL in Detroit, Mich., resulting in a 21-10 win for Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh also faced the Minnesota Vikings in the 2015 NFL/Hall of Fame Game - the two contestants played in Super Bowl IX.

Oakland 21, Pittsburgh 18Oct. 27, 2013

O.co Coliseum (52,950)OAKLAND – The Steelers could not erase an 18-point fi rst-half

defi cit and lost to the Oakland Raiders, 21-18, at the O.co Coli-seum.

On the Raiders fi rst play of the game, QB Terrelle Pryor faked a handoff to RB Darren McFadden, and then ran 93 yards for a touchdown to give Oakland an early 7-0 lead. P Zoltan Mesko’s attempt was blocked midway through the fi rst quarter, which set Oakland up at the Steelers’ 26-yard line. Five plays later, McFad-den scored on a seven-yard run to give the Raiders a 14-0 lead.

Late in the fi rst quarter, S Troy Polamalu picked off Pryor and returned it to the Raiders’ 48-yard line. K Shaun Suisham capped off the ensuing drive with a 47-yard fi eld goal to cut the lead, 14-3. The Raiders scored their fi nal points of the game after the two-minute warning when McFadden scored on a four-yard run to give the Raiders a 21-3 lead at halftime.

Neither team scored in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quar-ter, DE Brett Keisel recovered an Oakland fumble that was forced by LB Lawrence Timmons, and three plays later QB Ben Ro-ethlisberger found WR Emmanuel Sanders for a nine-yard touch-down to cut the lead, 21-10.

With 1:27 left in the game, RB Le’Veon Bell scored on a two-yard run, and Sanders scored on a two-point conversion to cut the lead, 21-18. The Steelers attempted an onside kick but it was re-covered by the Raiders.

Despite the loss, the Steelers defense forced a season-high three turnovers and held their opponents to a season-low 82 net passing yards.

Mike Tomlin was named the 16th head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers history on Jan. 22, 2007. Hired at the age of 34, Tomlin became only the third head coach hired by the Steelers since 1969.Tomlin became the youngest head coach in NFL history to both coach in and win a Super Bowl when he led the Steelers to a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. By winning the Super Bowl in only his second season as a head coach, he also became the fastest to win a Super Bowl title in Steelers’ history. Through eight seasons, Tomlin has accomplished many things that have never been done in the team’s storied history. His 82-46 record (.641) is best start in franchise history. He has guided the Steelers’ defense to the NFL’s top ranking in total defense four times, including most recently in 2012. He has also sent a total of 45 selections to the league’s annual Pro Bowl, including fi ve following the 2014 season. Tomlin has reached the playoffs fi ve times in his fi rst eight seasons, including two trips to the Super Bowl (winning Super Bowl XLIII). Tomlin is one of only seven coaches in league history to win a Super Bowl within his fi rst two seasons as an NFL head coach. Tomlin is the only head coach in Steelers history to lead the team to two Super Bowls in his fi rst four seasons at the helm, including an appearance against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV. He is one of only two Steelers’ head coaches to win three division titles in his fi rst four seasons. Tomlin was appointed by Commisioner Roger Goodell to the NFL’s Competition Committee in March, 2013. In 2014, Tomlin, who has a defensive coaching background, orchestrated one of the top offensive outputs in team history. The Steelers broke numerous offensive records, including points scored (436), total yards (6,577), passing yards/game (301.6) and total fi rst downs (379). On an individual basis in 2014, Tomlin guided QB Ben Roethlisberger, WR Antonio Brown and RB Le’Veon Bell – whom all made the Pro Bowl – to record-setting years. Roethlisberger had personal bests in passing yards (4,952), completions (408) and passing TDs (32, T-2007), while Brown established team records for receptions (129), receiving yards (1,698) and receiving TDs (13). Bell, in his fi rst full year as a starter, who was also named Team MVP, broke the Steelers’ records for scrimmage yards (2,215) as well as receptions (83) and receiving yards (854) by a running back. Over the past two seasons, Tomlin has led the team to a 7-1 record in the month of December, winning each of the last four in 2014 to capture the AFC North title. Arguably one of his best coaching performances may possibly have come in the second half of the 2013 season. Despite an 0-4 and 2-6 start to the season, the Steelers fi nished the regular season surging to a 6-2 second-half record, falling just short of the playoffs. However, he rallied the team despite numerous injuries on both sides of the ball, to stick together and fi nished second in the AFC North. The 2013 campaign also saw QB Ben Roethlisberger, WR and team WR Antonio Brown and RB Le’Veon Bell break numerous regular-season records for the Steelers. Brown and S Troy Polamalu were each selected to the Pro Bowl following the season. Tomlin led the Steelers to a 27-10 victory over the New York Jets in the 2012 home opener, becoming the fi rst coach in team history to win his fi rst six home openers. The Steelers fi nished the season with the top-ranked overall defense (275.8 ypg) and fi nished fi rst in passing defense (185.2 ypg). In 2011, Tomlin led the Steelers to a 12-4 record, marking the second straight season the team posted 12 wins, which marked only the second time in team history it has been achieved. The Steelers fi nished second in total defense under Tomlin in 2010, allowing only 276.8 yards per game. Pittsburgh led the NFL and set a team record in rushing defense, yielding only 62.8 yards per game (1,004 yards), the third-best total in NFL history dating back to 1970. The Steelers also established an NFL record in 2010 by not allowing an opponent to rush for more than 75 yards in any of their fi rst eight games during the regular season.

WILLIAMS IN BLACK AND GOLD

RB DeAngelo Williams made his Pittsburgh Steelers debut rumbling out of the backfi eld for 127 rushing yards on 21 carries (6.0 average) and added a reception for fi ve yards at New England on Thursday night in Week 1. He continued his feature back role in Week 2’s home opener against San Francisco and tied a franchise single-game record with three rushing touchdowns - his 12th career multi-touchdown game - and fi nished with 92 yards from scrimmage (75 rushing and 15 receiving). Williams led all AFC rushers with 204 yards (second in the NFL) and led the NFL with three rushing touchdowns in Weeks 1-2 of the 2015 season. In Week 8 vs. Cincinnati, Williams led all players with 110 yards from scrimmage 71 rushing yards on nine carries (7.9 average) and 39 receiving yards on four catches. He recorded a season-long 55-yard rush in the third quarter, the longest of his career since Dec. 30, 2012 (65 yards). Williams, who joined Pittsburgh as a free agent on March 13, left the Carolina Panthers as the team’s all-time leader in rushing attempts (1,432), rushing yards (6,846), rushing touchdowns (46) and 100-yard rushing games (18), was originally drafted by the Panthers in the fi rst round (27th overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft.

VICK LEADS TEAM TO COMEBACKQB Mike Vick Vick led Pittsburgh to a fourth-quarter comeback

and game-winning drive on Monday Night Football in Week 5 at San Diego in the team’s 24-20 win over the Chargers. He connected with WR Markus Wheaton for a 72-yard touchdown and fi nished the game with 203 passing yards on 13-of-26 passing with a touchdown and interception for a passer rating of 73.1.

The come-from-behind win marked Vick’s 14th fourth-quarter comeback and 15th game-winning drive of his NFL career and fi rst since Sept. 30, 2012 while with Philadelphia.

Vick made his fi rst start with the Steelers in Week 4 vs. Baltimore due to an injury to QB Ben Roethlisberger. In his Pittsburgh starting debut, he completed 19-of-26 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown for a passer rating of 95.7

Vick joined the Steelers as a free agent on August 25 and is in his 15th NFL season after being selected with the fi rst overall selection by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2001 NFL Draft and remained with the Falcons through 2006. He was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009 and spent fi ve years with the Eagles before joining the New York Jets in 2014.

In his NFL career, Vick has appeared in 143 games (114 starts) and completed 1,807-of-3,217 passes for 22,464 yards with 133 touchdowns and added 6,109 rushing yards - the most rushing yards by an NFL quarterback in league history - and 36 rushing touchdowns on 873 rushing attempts. Vick, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, also earned NFL Comeback Player of the Year accolades in 2010.

JONES’ DEBUT FOR THE AGESQB Landry Jones led the Steelers to a 25-13 come-from-behind

victory in Week 6 vs. Arizona after entering the game and seeing regular-season action for the fi rst time in his career.

Jones completed 8-of-12 passes for 168 yards with two touchdowns for a passer rating of 149.3. He onnected with WR Martavis Bryant for both touchdowns, one coming from eight yards and the other from 88 yards. The 88-yard touchdown is tied for the eighth-longest pass play in team history.

Jones’ 149.3 passer rating is the second-highest for an NFL quarterback in their fi rst career game (min. 10 attempts) behind only Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota’s 158.3 in 2015.

Jones made his fi rst career NFL start in Week 7 at Kansas City, and completed 16-of-29 passing for 209 yards with a touchdown.

WHEATON IN THE MIXWR Markus Wheaton sparked Pittsburgh’s offense a 72-yard

touchdown catch that tied Week 5’s game at San Diego up at 17-17 on Monday Night Football. The 72-yard touchdown reception established a new career-long for the third-year receiver. Through the fi rst eight games of the 2015 season, Wheaton has notched 13 receptions for 257 yards and a touchdown.

In Week 1 vs. New England, Wheaton caught a personal 2015 single-game high three catches for 55 yards, and added an individual 2015 single-game best of 67 yards on two catches in Week 2.

BRYANT’S ‘15 CAMPAIGN

Second-year WR Martavis Bryant had an electric game in his 2015 debut in Week 6 vs. Arizona, leading the team with 6 receptions for 137 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. His 137 receiving yards were the second-most in a single-game in his career (143, Nov. 9, 2014 at N.Y. Jets) and his two touchdown catches marked his third career multi-touchdown game in the regular season. His second scoring play of the game came on a 88-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter, which tied as the eighth-longest pass play in team history. Bryant added three catches for 45 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown catch in Week 7 at Kansas City. Bryant totaled 11 touchown catches in his fi rst 12 career games. Only fi ve other players (Billy Howton: 1952, Harlon Hill: 1954, Bill Groman: 1960, Randy Moss: 1998 and Odell Beckham: 2014) had at least 11 touchdown catches in a player’s fi rst 12 NFL games. With 11 touchdown catches, Bryant is the 10th player in Steelers history to have 10 or more touchdown catches in his fi rst two seasons with the team.

BRYANT’S AVERAGE AT THE TOP

Since entering the NFL in 2014, WR Martavis Bryant has caught 39 passes for 780 yards to give him a 20.0 yards per catch average - the second-best average among all NFL players in the past two seasons:

The Vikings responded on their ensuing drive as they marched 81 yards in eight plays. QB Mike Kafka capped off the drive with a 34-yard touchdown pass to TE MyCole Pruitt to give Minnesota a 7-3 advantage.

QB Landry Jones led Pittsburgh into Minnesota’s red zone on the Steelers’ next possession. But the Steelers were unable to score, failing at a fourth-and-goal attempt at the one-yard line. Pittsburgh would trail 7-3 at halftime.

Midway through the third quarter, WR Stefon Diggs re-turned a punt 62 yards to the Steelers’ one-yard line. On the next play, RB Joe Banyard scored on a one-yard run to seal the victory for Minnesota.

Despite the loss, the Steelers’ defense limited Minnesota to 14 first downs and held them to 3-of-13 on third-down con-versions. LB Ryan Shazier led the team with five tackles. CB Kevin Fogg recorded an interception. And DE Ethan Hemer registered the team’s only sack.

PITTSBURGH – The Steelers ended their 2015 preseason with a 23-6 loss at Heinz Field to the Carolina Panthers.

After a scoreless first quarter, Carolina scored 17 second-quarter points to take a 17-0 lead into halftime.

K Graham Gano connected on a 23-yard field goal to start the scoring. RB Jordan Todman scored on a 49-yard run. And QB Joe Webb threw a 23-yard touchdown to WR Mar-cus Lucas.

The Steelers got a splash play on special teams from FB Roosevelt Nix on Carolina’s first possession of the second half. Nix’s blocked punt set the Steelers up at the Panthers’ 30-yard line. Newly acquired K Josh Scobee made a 27-yard field goal to cut the lead 17-3.

But Pittsburgh’s offense could not get going, which al-lowed Carolina to increase its lead. Gano connected on a 23-yarder and 27-yarder to give the Panthers a 23-3 advan-tage midway through the fourth quarter.

Scobee made a 27-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to cut the lead 23-6, but it would be the closest the Steelers would get.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – QB Tom Brady’s four touch-down passes lifted the Patriots to a 28-21 victory over the Steelers at Gillette Stadium in the 2015 NFL Kickoff Game.

PITTSBURGH – QB Ben Roethlisberger threw three touchdowns and RB DeAngelo Williams rushed for three touchdowns as the Steelers beat the 49ers, 43-18, in the 2015 home opener in front of a record-setting crowd (66,472) at Heinz Field.

Roethlisberger threw a two-yard score to TE Heath Miller late in the first quarter, and then threw a two-point conversion to WR Antonio Brown to give Pittsburgh an 8-0 lead. San Francisco K Phil Dawson connected on a 47-yard field goal early in the second quarter to cut the lead 8-3, but it would be the closest the 49ers would get the rest of the game.

The Steelers scored three straight touchdowns, the first of which was a Williams two-yard run. Roethlisberger then connected with WR Darrius Heyward-Bey for a 35-yard touchdown. Williams scored on a nother two-yard run to give Pittsburgh a 29-3 lead at halftime.

QB Colin Kaepernick threw a 14-yard touchdown to WR Anquan Boldin early in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 29-10, but Williams scored his third rushing touchdown of the game on the Steelers’ ensuing drive to make it 36-10.

Kaepernick threw a 75-yard touchdown to WR Torrey Smith on the 49ers next drive, but it was countered by a Ro-ethlisberger seven-yard touchdown pass to Brown.

Pittsburgh’s offense finished a perfect 5-for-5 in the red zone, and the Steelers’ defense recorded a season-best five sacks. LB Ryan Shazier led the team with 15 tackles.

PITTSBURGH – With less than three minutes remaining in the game, QB Andy Dalton threw a go-ahead nine-yard touchdown to WR A.J. Green, and K Mike Nugent made a 44-yard field goal to seal the 16-10 victory for the Bengals.

The Steelers scored on their opening drive, going 80 yards in 12 plays. QB Ben Roethlisberger, who returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous four games due to a knee injury, capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown pass to WR Antonio Brown. Pittsburgh’s offense would struggle to move the football the remainder of the game.

On the Bengals’ ensuing drive, Nugent connected on a 44-yard field goal to cut the lead to 7-3. Nugent added a 45-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter to cut the lead to 7-6, which was the halftime score.

Midway through the third quarter, K Chris Boswell con-nected on a 32-yard field goal to extend Pittsburgh’s lead to 10-6. But it would be the final points for Pittsburgh on the afternoon.

Both defenses forced turnovers, but neither offense could capitalize until S Shawn Williams picked off Roethlisberger at the Pittsburgh 45-yard line. Dalton then led the Bengals on a six-play, 45-yard drive that he capped off with the go-ahead score to Green.

Pittsburgh took over but Roethlisberger threw an intercep-tion to S Reggie Nelson on the team’s first play. Nugent then made his 44-yard field goal to seal the win.

The Steelers had one last chance to win the game. Roeth-lisberger led the team to the Bengals’ 16-yard line, but his final pass was thrown out of the end zone.
